Few persons seem aware that the
varieties Of lily, called lancifolium, are
admirably adapted for pot culture in the
house or on piazzas; while the truth is,
that with such cultivation they are far
finer than when grown in the open border.
For the decoration of terraces, porches,
windows, Conservatives, churches and the
like, lilies grown in pots are invaluable;
for, treated in this way, the plant and
blossoms attain magnificent size and
form and are most beautiful objects, as
may be concluded from the cut given.
From dozen to thirty blooms on
stem and six to twelve stems in u pot may
be obtained, according to Wick, who is ex-
cellent authority in all such matters, If
good bulbs are used, good care given and
the following mode of procedure observed:
Take of well decayed sods, which should
be from medium loam and as fibrous as
possible, three parts; good fibre peat, one
part; or, if peat is not at hand, leaf mold
well decomposed, and one part thoroughly
rOtted COW manure. If those who have
not access to all these soils live near the
woods and can, by first pushing slightly
to one side the top and least decayed sur
face leaves, obtain some good, light, top
soil and leaf mold it will answer almost
equally as well. If little sandy so much
the better; if not little sand may be
added to give it the porosity which light
or medium fbrous loan naturally has. If
none but heavy loan can be obtained, use
less of it and more leaf mold and sand, or
decayed hops from a brewery may be SUBJ
stituted form leaf mold. In any case, do
not forget to add "a fifth part of well de-
composed cow or hotbed manure.

Something New for Sailing Craft.

Something new in small sailing craft is
the invention of a Long Island boating en-
thusiast. His boat looks like an ordinary
shallow and light built skiff, only she is
decked over a rather small cockpit. A
long and rakish looking spar rises in a
curve above her stubby mast and stretches
sail that seems disproportionately large.
She has neither keel nor center-board, yet
she goes to windward like an ice boat The
device which does the work Of a keel or
center-board is the invention of her owner
and builder, Thomas Chaplain, of Roslyn.
He calls it a weather grip. 1t consists of a
runner-shaped good deal like half bar
rel head-hung to hinged outrigger amid
ships. This runner may be attached to either
side of the boat, and the little vessel sails
equally well whether the grip is out to
windward or to leeward No matter how
much she lists either to or from the grip"
the position of the runner in the water is
always the same. It can be unshipped as
easily as an oar can be taken from row.
lock. Mr.. Chaplain says that the saving Of
the space occupied by the center board
trunks in small, shallow boats is something
to delight the heart Of every skipper Dos

THE PACE THAT KILLS.

Few Distinguished Americans Who Reach
tho Age of 7O-The Reason Why.
Gladstone closes year of work with his
T1th birthday, and in the promise of his
future activity refrains from saying an I'M
kind word in answer to his senior, John
Bright. In France, Grevy enters upon
second seven years. term at S0-a record
which already passes that of Theirs or a
Palmerston AS for Germany, the nonoge-
marian emperor is only two years ahead Of
his warrior chum, Won Moltke while Bis
marck is mere boy Of n.
How different the record here! Of the
distinguished Americans who died last year
not one had reached the age of 70. In
-politic;H life the veteran Simon Cameron
stands alone. The statesmen Of to-day be-
long to younger generation. All of our
presidents since Buchanan went into office
young and not one of them is living except
Hayes; of our vice-presidents only Hamlin
and Wheeler. Not only those who gained the
presidency but those who were nominated
and defeated have failed to reach old age.
Tilden lasted until 70 and Fremont is 70.
But Grant, johnson, Arthur, Hancock, Nc
Clellan, Colfax, Brown, Blair, Wilson, all
died at an age when European statesmen
look forward to twenty years of active work.
In the army two generals are old enough to
be retired at the age of GO, In local politics
there are no old mon.
What is the explanation Of it? The excep-
tonal cases Of longevity in this country
prove that Americans can live long, The
death roll proves that they do not. It is
not the climate that kills; it is the pace. We
live too much; we live too fast. The
machine is overworked; it carries too much
strain; it is not allowed time for repairs.
We know how to work, but we do not know
how to rest, and begin the now days work
before the old days work is over. The
strain is perpetual, the wear and tear I'M
ceasing. We keep our nerves always at
their full tension, and the mind wears out
the body. Then after success is achieved,
after the powers of the mind are ripened
and the experience of years has given wis
dom, just when all the gains of the lifetime
are ready for use and of value to the man
and the nation, the body breaks down, and
the nation is called on to mourn real loss,
where it might otherwise have hoped to
enjoy the harvest of the life's fruition

Not only do butterflies live the two distinct
lives already described, but other insects
show changes equally striking. The lttlc
wriggler that goes turning its somersaults
through the WATER in time becomes the
troublesome mosquito that sings around our
pillow in the summer night.
Other animals besides insects present at
different periods of their lives very unlike
forms. The common crab Of our sea coast.
for example, when it leaves the egg, is the
strange looking creature shown in tho ell
craving. This, explains Tho American Agri.
culturist goes swimming about very rapidly,
and was at one time considered as distinct
animal, its relationship to the crab not being
suspected Scientists, however, discovered
that after while this cora, as it is called,
drops some of its parts, acquires legs, claws,
ETC., and becomes perfect crab. These
changes, as well as many others, all the while
occurring in nature, are as interesting as is
any story told in the wonder books If boys
and girls learn to notice them Life would never
be dull and they would soon acquire a great
deal of valuable information.

Facts Farmers Want to Know


A New England experimenter finds that
feeding apples to mich cows invariably
lessons the flow of milk.
In planting q new orchard some grow
ers plant peach trees between the apple
trees. The peach grows and bears quickly,
yielding largely before the apple trees
need the space.
Meat for the use of small family can
be smoked by suspending the hams from
bars laid across large barrel open at
both ends and set above smoldering fire.
Corn cobs make a good smoke, and bay
leaves and juniper berries give an aro-
matte flavor. Cover the barrel while
smoking So says The Iowa Register.
The Louisiana orange crop proves to be
less than one-tenth of an average crop.
Mr.. Louis, of Wisconsin, noted Po-
land China breeder, says it pays to feed
cooked food. He believes in breeding from
matured parents, as they bring strong
and healthy pigs. He used to keep hogs
until 1S months old for making pork, but
